Halo: Reach is Landing on September 14, 2010

  • Article

More than 2.7 million Halo fans participated in the recent Halo: Reach multiplayer beta on Xbox LIVE, making it the largest console video game beta test on record, and more than triple the size of the Halo 3 beta. (To put it in perspective, Xbox LIVE users put in over 1,826 years of total play time in a two-week period!) The beta’s over, but Halo fans will be able to rejoin the battle against the Covenant when Halo: Reach ships worldwide on September 14, 2010. (September 15 in Japan.)

You can preorder Halo: Reach now, choosing from Standard, Limited, and Legendary editions.  The Legendary edition includes a 10-inch-tall, hand-painted Noble Team statue crafted by McFarlane Toys.

As a special bonus, fans can receive a token to unlock an exclusive in-game Spartan Recon Helmet by picking up a copy of the game on launch day at North American retail stores, and outside of North America by making a pre-order reservation at participating retailers.

Once reserved only for the most dedicated and decorated Spartans, the MJOLNIR Mark VI Recon armor variant was developed in the heart of ONI’s Ordnance Testing Facility B5D for high priority reconnaissance missions. The coveted Recon helmet with the Visor/Blast Shield (stowed) variant is available for use in campaign and multiplayer modes. Reserve your copy of Halo: Reach now, and you’ll receive a token to download the exclusive armor variant when you pick up your copy on launch day.
